“If ye have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true” - Alma, The Book of Mormon (Alma 32:21)

"Faith is not only the principle of action, but of power also, in all intelligent beings, whether in heaven or on earth."- Joseph Smith, Prophet of Restoration, Lectures on Faith 3 ACT = "to take action; do something; exertenergyorforce" Dictionary.com

“The Messiah cometh in the fulness of time, that he may redeem the children of men from the fall. And because that they are redeemed from the fall they have become free forever, knowing good from evil; to ACT for themselves and not to be acted upon.” Nephi, Book of Mormon, (2 Nephi 2:26)

I am committed to live my life exercising FAITH to ACT by following Jesus Christ and His teachings. I belong to The Church of
Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and this has been a great blessing in
my life. Through restored gospel truths it has allowed me to deepen my
knowledge and understanding of our Heavenly Father's plan for us. Most
importantly it has guided me to build a strong, trusting relationship
with Jesus Christ. And just as the Savior, Jesus Christ walked this
Earth doing the will of His father, I will strive daily to follow His
example and become a true disciple (follower) of Him. I love Heavenly
Father and His Son, Jesus Christ and know we are all brothers and
sisters.This life is a faith testing period to prepare to meet God. I
realize acting in faith is not an easy task, therefore I am using this
technology to help me strengthen my own faith, to help keep me
accountable to that which I live for each day, and to inspire others to ACT in FAITH---when they hear the good news (The gospel of Jesus Christ has been RESTORED in its fullness!) So...what do we believe? Please visit www.mormon.org to find out!

2. ~ Why a Mormon? -(Proclaiming the Restored gospel to all nations, kindreds, tongues, and people)

29 And after having received the record of the Nephites, yea, even my servant Joseph Smith, Jun., might have power to translate through the mercy of God, by the power of God, the Book of Mormon. 30 And also those to whom these commandments were given, might have power to lay the foundation of this church, and to bring it forth out of obscurity and out of darkness, the only true and living church upon the face of the whole earth, with which I, the Lord, am well pleased, speaking unto the church collectively and not individually - (Doctrine and Covenants 1:29-30)

"And now, for the sake of these things which I have spoken unto you—that is, for the sake of retaining a remission of your sins from day to day, that ye may walk guiltless before God—I would that ye should impart of your substance to the poor, every man according to that which he hath, such as feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, visiting the sick and administering to their relief, both spiritually and temporally, according to their wants."
